Climate change and tourism in the alpine regions of Switzerland
For many alpine areas in Switzerland, winter tourism is the most important source of income, and snow-reliability is one of the key elements of the offers made by tourism in the Alps. 85% of Switzerland's current ski resorts can be designated as snow-reliable. If climate change occurs, the level of snow-reliability will rise from 1200 m up to 1800 m over the next few decades. Only 44% of the sk...
متن کاملGreenhouse gas budget (CO2, CH4 and N2O) of intensively managed grassland following restoration.
The first full greenhouse gas (GHG) flux budget of an intensively managed grassland in Switzerland (Chamau) is presented. The three major trace gases, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) were measured with the eddy covariance (EC) technique. For CO2 concentrations, an open-path infrared gas analyzer was used, while N2O and CH4 concentrations were measured with a recentl...
متن کاملGreenhouse gas and ammonia emission abatement by slurry treatment
NH3, CH4 and N2O emissions from dairy cattle and pig slurries were quantified. The effect of the following treatments was investigated: untreated covered slurry, mechanically separated slurry, anaerobically digested slurry, slurry covered with a layer of straw, and slurry aeration. Measurements were carried out with dairy cattle and with pig slurry, in winter and in summer. After storage, slurr...
متن کاملEffects of organic matter amendments on net primary productivity and greenhouse gas emissions in annual grasslands.
Most of the world's grasslands are managed for livestock production. A critical component of the long-term sustainability and profitability of rangelands (e.g., grazed grassland ecosystems) is the maintenance of plant production. Amending grassland soils with organic waste has been proposed as a means to increase net primary productivity (NPP) and ecosystem carbon (C) storage, while mitigating ...
متن کاملModeling and Optimization of Energy Inputs and Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Eggplant Production Using Artificial Neural Network and Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm
This paper studies the modeling and optimization of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions of eggplant production using artificial neural network and multi-objective genetic algorithm in Guilan province of Iran. Results showed that the highest share of energy consumption belongs to diesel fuel (49.24%); followed by nitrogen (33.30%). The results indicated that a total energy input of 13910.67 ...
